Default Cam timing

Any chance I could have been off 1 tooth and still pulled 130tq on the dyno. 113 woods 9B 45mik fatcat
I was having a lot of reversion and some popping. As well as no power until 3000 rpm. Almost like an engine brake. I pulled the woods cam out and it looked like I was 1 tooth off

I doubt it.. A compression test will usually indicate the possibility of a cam being off a tooth by a 30 psi difference in ccp. Don't think you would hit those numbers if it was.. I ran the 9B for a while and did not like the low end... 3k and under..

Post up a dyno run sheet....

Running some healthy compression there, be pushing 11.7-1 or a tad better.

Did the dyno run show any lean condition below 3000, at the ccp your talking I can see the big torque but can also see you needing to feed it down low because she's not bleeding off very much.

My shovel runs 215 psi cold, comes in at 11.7-1, I'm 245lbs and can stand on my kicker Even with dual plugs tuning is art form getting that high, I still tweak timing and play with plug gaps when the mood strikes.

To be honest I didnt tune it after the 9B. They Dyno guy at dream rides dialed the mik45 in at that time. They didnt say it was a bitch to tune
They called and told.me that the motor was ripping through my silver spring clutch ( rivera pro) and I needed a gold...
